"Sir, the brothers have all checked and there is not a single one alive."
"That's good."
After hearing the report from his subordinate Jin Yiwei, Cui Yixiao nodded slightly. Mingyu guessed one thing right. After all, Jin Yiwei was an official of the imperial court, and they still wanted their face.
Ji Qianli used the identity of the Ghost Faced Fierce Sword to wander around the world. This matter was decided by Mr. Lu, so they had no objection, but this did not mean that they would watch helplessly as this guy was exposed, causing Jin Yiwei to be ridiculed by the whole world.
Don't look at the fact that Lu Hanjiang was messing around in the world, and he unexpectedly borrowed the identity of Lu Shiqi, the leader of the Beggar Clan, and made it known to the world... No matter what happens, everyone must see it.
For example, Mr. Lu, for example, came from a wealthy family, the Lu family. His uncle was the Minister of Rites of the dynasty, and his wife was the favored Princess Yongle. Mr. Meng, the former commander of the Jinyi Guards, raised him as his own son. He overturned the old nest of Xichang, and even the old man The emperor let him make trouble.
With this status, Mr. Lu is truly one person lower than ten thousand people in this dynasty, and Jin Yiwei can now say that he is the one who speaks volumes.
Lu Hanjiang is such a person, even if one day he wants to go to the sky to reach for the stars, the Jin Yiwei can only follow behind and build the ladder honestly, no one dares to say anything.
So on the other hand, who is Ji Qianli? After leaving Jinyiweiqian, he is just a general banner, even if he has some connections, it is nothing more than that.
Although the Jin Yiwei is overbearing, it is not to the point where no one is allowed in or out. But there is one thing. If you, the Jin Yiwei officer, quit your job, no one will care about you when you go home and become a rich man. But if you go to the world, then you will That's another matter.
So Cui Yixiao came to Hengshan on this trip. Firstly, he was assigned by Mr. Lu to monitor a key figure. Secondly, it was also to ensure that Ji Qianli's identity would not be exposed.
The first point goes without saying. To them, Mr. Lu's words are no different from the imperial edict, but the second point makes Cui Yixiao a little embarrassed.
It's okay to keep a secret from October to August, even for a year and a half, but to keep it secret for ten, eight, or even a lifetime is a bit difficult.
Jin Yiwei never puts his hope in illusory possibilities. Instead of gambling on the probability that he can hide the truth from the sky, it is better to deal with the core of the conflict directly.
Yes, before Cui Yixiao came to Hengshan, Ying Wushang had already hinted to him that when Hengshan destroyed his family, he would also deal with Ji Qianli to avoid long nights and dreams.
In fact, Cui Yixiao also vaguely agreed with this ruthless choice. Not only him, but most people familiar with the matter didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.
The reason was not Ji Qianli's poor popularity, but the things he did before the accident.
When two disciples of the Hengshan sect, Shi Suxue and Shuang'er, were assisting the Nanshan immortals in the capital against the Jin Yiwei, Ji Qianli, as an official of the imperial court, actually dared to use his power for personal gain and freed prisoners without permission.
It's not that the brothers dislike him for bending the law for personal gain. After all, this is a society based on personal relationships. Although the law is strict, it can't be overcome by human relationships. It's a huge trouble, but as long as you work hard, there may not be a way out.
It's okay for Ji Qianli to be soft-hearted towards the Hengshan faction, but he shouldn't be indifferent between public and private matters.
If the person is detained first according to the rules, and then he should beg for mercy or use the relationship, no one has an opinion on what he does, but he just doesn't follow the rules and actually releases the person privately, which is very disgusting. .
Although in the eyes of the world, Jinyiwei's yamen is the most unruly place in the world. They do things unscrupulously, and the imperial power grants permission to kill first and then report, and they don't care at all if they offend anyone.
But in fact, Jinyiwei Yamen is the most disciplined place in the world. Precisely because Jinyiwei does things that are outrageous and resentful, they are afraid that they will end up inexplicably in the future.
Jin Yiwei is ruthless to outsiders, and he is also merciless to his own people. Under such circumstances, the yamen can still work together to prevent it from falling apart, relying on iron-like rules.
Xu Le, the governor of Nanzhen Fusi, had a grudge against Lu Hanjiang when Meng Yuan came to power. However, it has been more than a year since Mr. Lu came to power. Apart from not wanting to see this guy, he has never taken revenge selfishly. This is Rules, because although Xu Le is blind, he has no fault.
Now that Ji Qianli has committed a taboo, no one in the yamen will sympathize with him. Cui Yixiao originally planned to kill the other party with one arrow. At most, he would wait until the other party's revenge is over before taking action. This can be regarded as a complete friendship.
But what made him hesitate was that before leaving, Bian Guang came to have a love affair with him.
Cui Yixiao used to be Bian Guang's subordinate. Now they have the same official position, but the friendship that they once supported is still there, so he is very embarrassed.
Mr. Lu has never mentioned whether to kill or release Qianli in this plan, so it is up to them to judge by themselves. Wushang should not advocate killing, because this person is useless if he is left alive. If he is released, it will easily cause trouble.
But Bian Guang was concerned about brotherhood and wanted Ji Qianli to have a good ending. Cui Yixiao hesitated for a long time. He raised his head, looked at the blood-stained Hengshan Gate in the distance, and gently closed his eyes.
After a long time, Cui Yixiao opened his eyes again. There was no trace of confusion in his eyes anymore. He ordered in a cold voice: "Prepare crossbows and arrows. Separately guard the mountain gate. Don't let anyone alive."
"Yes!" More than a dozen of his Jinyi guards responded and quickly dispersed.
At this moment, a person suddenly came to report: "Sir, someone is coming this way."
Cui Yixiao couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. Whether they came to Hengshan to grab fame or to see the excitement, they had all become dead souls at this moment. How could there be anyone left?
He was surprised and took the telescope from the hand of Jin Yiwei beside him. He looked in the direction pointed by the other person and saw a young man in green robe heading towards Hengshan Mountain.
"this......"
Cui Yixiao was stunned for a moment. The person here was none other than the disciple of Qingcheng Sect whom Mr. Lu had specially told him about, Taoist Priest Qing Yi Xiaojian Tianquan.
Lu Hanjiang told him to pay attention to this kid. It would be best to let Ji Qianli kill him. But he never expected that Taoist Priest Tianquan was Tianjuan's destiny. Today's disaster of Hengshan's annihilation was plainly prepared for him. Yes, but for some reason, he was not present at all.
Cui Yixiao remembered that Lu Hanjiang had said that this person had excellent luck, and he couldn't help but feel weird. Is there really such a lucky person in the world?
Cui Yixiao was a person who didn't believe in fate, so he thought that since Mr. Lu had said that he wanted this person's life, there shouldn't be much difference whether he did it or borrowed Qianli's hand.
So Cui Yixiao took out his bow and arrow again, stretched the string to the full moon, waited for Tianquan who was coming to step into his hunting range, and then shot out an arrow.
...
Not far away, Tianquan suddenly felt a little panicked. Today, he had accepted Mingyu's request and went to a place to the west of Hengshan Mountain to eliminate the bandits entrenched there.
After Tianquan had scattered the bandits and fled, it was still early in the day. He thought that someone would come to challenge the Hengshan sect today, and he felt itchy, so he wanted to take a look.
But the further he walked towards Hengshan Mountain, the more he felt panicked in his heart. Until he came near the mountain gate, a pungent fishy smell suddenly rushed over him, making his face change immediately. This was the smell of blood!
Tianquan immediately quickened his pace and moved forward, not noticing at all that a silent stream of water was rapidly approaching the back of his head.
